DOVER — On Saturday October 20, the 21st Century Community Learning Center communities of Dover, Somersworth, Farmington, and Rochester, packed Dover Bowl for the national celebration of Lights On Afterschool. The Afterschool programs from the four communities hosted this amazing, free, family event at Dover Bowl.

Lights On celebrates and recognizes the importance of quality afterschool programs in our communities.

Over 300 families were treated to a number of wonderful activities throughout the evening. The night’s events opened with free bowling for all including both 10 pin and candlepin bowling. Families also enjoyed free pizza and beverages.

Dover, Somersworth, Farmington and Rochester appreciate the support from all of the families in their communities. With community support, quality afterschool programs can provide positive enrichment, wellness, build self-esteems and foster positive development for youth to thrive.

Director Maureen Jackman said the Center would also like to give a big thank you to Dover Bowl. Without their help, this tremendous event would not have happened.

The Center is at 7 Memorial Drive, Somersworth. For information call (603) 275-2074.
